The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact that developments in transhumanist technologies may have upon human cultures
(and thus upon the lifeworld), and to do so by exploring a potential debate between Habermas and the transhumanists. Transhumanists,
such as Nick Bostrom, typically see the potential in genetic and other technologies for positively expanding and transcending
human nature. In contrast, Habermas is a representative of those who are fearful of this technology, suggesting that it will
compound the deleterious effects of the colonisation of the lifeworld, further constraining human autonomy and undermining
the meaningfulness of the lifeworld by expanding the technological control and manipulation of humanity. It will be argued
that these opposed positions are grounded in fundamentally different understandings of the consequences of scientific and
technological advance. On one level, the transhumanists remain confident that the lifeworld has within it the resources necessary
to find meaning and purpose in a society deeply infused by genetic technology. Habermas disagrees. On another level, the difference
is articulated by Horkheimer and Adorno in Dialectic of Enlightenment, primarily by challenging what may be understood as a Baconian faith in science as a project for the domination of nature
(where nature is an infinitely malleable material, to be dominated and shaped, without adverse consequences, purely for the
purposes of human survival). While the transhumanists broadly embrace this faith, Habermas returns to something akin to Horkheimer
and Adorno’s pessimistic scepticism.

This article describes how caring science can be a helpful foundation for caring practice and what kind of learning support that can enable the transformation of caring science into practice. The lifeworld approach is fundamental for both caring and learning. This will be illustrated in two examples from research that show the potential for promoting health and well-being as well as the learning process. One example is from a caring context and the other is from a learning context. In this article, learning and caring are understood as parallel processes. We emphasize that learning cannot be separated from life and thus caring and education is intertwined with caring science and life. The examples illustrate how an understanding of the intertwining can be fruitful in different contexts. The challenge is to implant a lifeworld-based approach on caring and learning that can lead to strategies that in a more profound way have the potential to strengthen the person''s health and learning processes. 相似文献

There is tension in the US healthcare system due to conflicting goals of maximizing the public's health and at the same time ensuring shareholder profit among the many private organizations that provide care to those in need. As a result, nurses (often the frontline workers in this mixed public/private and economized system) may experience dissonance between their professional values and the capitalistic values embodied in the healthcare system. Beyond the workplace, nurses are also committed to championing health and wellness, to advocating for social justice, and driving health policy. Yet, constrained by the conflicts between neoliberal values in an economized system and the values of care that inspire many to join the healthcare profession, nurses may lose the ability to live up to their moral ideals, to champion social justice, and to improve public health outcomes. In this paper, we use the critical theory of Juergen Habermas to explore these tensions and to suggest a path forward for nurses. We suggest that by engaging in dialog with each other and the public, and working for greater inclusivity, nurses can find ways to deconstruct ideologies inherent in our current healthcare system, to consider alternatives, and liberate healthcare from the dominance of market forces. 相似文献

This study has a health care science approach and explores pre-hospital emergency care with emphasis on assessment. Health care science is focused on the patient with the general aim to describe care that strengthens and supports health. Assessment in the ambulance services has not been explored earlier from this perspective, despite the emphasis on ‘coming close’ to the acute suffering patient. The aim of the study is to describe and analyse assessment in caring situations. Data was collected by participant observations. The major findings point out the importance of professional carers’ recognition of the patient’s lifeworld as an essential part of assessment. The carers’ openness to the situation and to the patient’s suffering and needs vary from being of minor interest to complete focus of the assessment. It seems that assessments that focus solely on a patient’s medical condition can be an obstacle to a full understanding of the individual, and thereby the illness per se. A caring assessment based on an encounter and a dialogue between patient and carer, characterised by inviting the patient to participate, adds further dimensions to the objective data. Therefore, the inclusion of the patient perspective relieves suffering and enables more safe decisions. 相似文献
